For your consideration is this original framed painting titled, "Golden Autumn" done by Great Falls, Montana artist Leslie "Les" Hamilton Peters (1917-2010). Les attended the University of Montana for a year and studied for one year at the University of Oregon before serving in the Army with the 11th Cavalry on the Mexican-California border. In 1942, the Cavalry was disbanded and Les was transferred to an infantry division, later serving in France and Germany with the 13th Armored Division in World War II. Les immersed himself in the life he loved, seeing and painting wildlife and the Western lifestyle. Les's beautiful artwork can be found throughout Montana and in private collections throughout the United States. Some of Les's greater accomplishments were a 90-foot mural for the Florence Hotel in Missoula, which now hangs at the Missoula airport, dioramas in the State Historical Society in Helena and a small painting that was presented to President Eisenhower. This painting shows a nice forest scene with a small creek running through the middle of the trees. The trees have leaves of a golden color, showing Autumn is in full force, as the creek shows reflections of the trees, leaves and sunlight dancing off the surface of the water. The wooden frame gives a vintage feel and the painting is double matted with canvas and a gold painted plastic material. Both the frame and painting show good condition with no signs of damage. The art measures 11 1/4" L x 15 1/4" W. The entire piece measures 20" L x 24" W.
